SpaceX to Attempt First 'Catch' of Super Heavy Booster in July
Elon Musk's ambitious plan aims to enhance reusability and efficiency of Starship missions.
- The fifth test flight of Starship is scheduled for late July, featuring a novel 'catch' maneuver.
- Robotic arms on the Mechazilla Tower will attempt to catch the Super Heavy booster upon descent.
- Successful execution could significantly reduce launch costs and improve turnaround times.
- Previous test flights saw the Super Heavy and Starship successfully perform landing burns.
- Starship is poised for future crew and cargo missions to the moon and potentially Mars.
